Spartanburg-based Milliken & Co. announced that it plans to lay off 650 employees worldwide.Richard Dillard, director of public affairs for Milliken, said the company-wide work force adjustment was because of a significant downturn in its industry brought on by the global economic crisis.
Dillard said the cutbacks are effective immediately and will be spread across the company's 47 global locations. The company has four plants and 1,300 workers in Spartanburg County. Dillard said only 12 local jobs will be eliminated as a result of the layoffs.
